Born
in 1973, Jamie Spracklen began to write poetry
and short stories in the early 90's and has appeared
in many magazines and anthologies of verse the
world over. A qualified archaeologist, Jamie is
also the editor of two small press magazines,
Monas Hieroglyphica and Visionary
Tongue, and is actively involved in the
promotion of literature and artists the worldwide.
Recently Jamie
won a national poetry prize for Ottakar's &
Faber's Fifth Annual Poetry competition, and hosted
a number of 'Open Mike' poetry evenings in London
and Essex to provide a forum for up and coming
poets. Last year Jamie also hosted an evening
of poetry with Bradford poet Joolz Denby.
Jamie's 1st collection
of poetry, Burying
October was introduced by
fantasy writer Storm Constantine who said, "…his
work touches more than one sense. After each poem
is read, an echo lingers after, and an evanescent
scent that presses upon our memories, makes us
remember things we might have forgotten."
Currently working
on his 3rd collection of poetry, Jamie lives with
an assortment of antiques, half read books and
nearly empty absinthe bottles in a flat overlooking
the Thames. |
